Chapter 10: Writing Letters and Turmoil
[Daddy, sister. I'm Axia, and I've been away from you for months, and I miss you all so much. Is my father and mother's health okay? The weather in the capital should be colder than in Jinling. Daddy should pay more attention to keeping warm, especially daddy, he has chilblains on his hands, don't get wet with cold water, it will be a recurrence of the old disease... I'm all good in Jinling, I've gained some weight, and I've grown taller, everyone in Jinling is very kind to me, don't worry about me, the second young master said, we will return to the capital next spring, and I will bring you Jinling specialties at that time. The second elder should take care of his body! Rong Xia. 】
"That's probably it!" Rong Xia stood beside the case, tilting his head and looking at Pei Jinzhi who was writing with a pen.
"Ah Xia has a very close relationship with his parents!" Pei Jinzhi said.
Rong Xia smiled a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Yes, because we are family!"
"Family?" Pei Jinzhi's face flashed with amazement, shook his head, and smiled slightly.
Rong Xia sensitively sensed that he seemed to have said something not very good!
"Young master, I cooked your favorite noodles. Rong Xia said cautiously.
Pei Jinzhi put down the pen in his hand, smiled slightly, walked over and patted Rong Xia's little head.
This kid is still so sensitive!
Rong Xia made braised pork rib noodles this time, and the side dishes were freshly pickled five-spiced shredded radish and pickled garlic.
"You eat with me. Pei Jinzhi said.
"Hey!" Rong Xia's concept of respect and inferiority in her heart is not as strong as that of the locals, and it is also a very common thing for two people to eat at the same table in her opinion. I finished eating the pork rib noodles fragrantly. Rong Xia picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Pei Jinzhi seemed to have something to do in the afternoon, and after eating, he took He An out. Rong Xia went to the chicken shed, and the ten big hens were well taken care of, and when they saw Rong Xia coming, they all flapped their wings happily. Rong Xia poured a certain amount of spiritual well water into the trough where the chickens drank water, and fed some food. It's a pity that these hens are just for the quick killing, otherwise catch two roosters and let them hold the nest, and then they will be able to eat fresh eggs. The chicken shed is cleaned regularly, and the feces and everything will be cleaned out in time, so Rong Xia just put a thick layer of thatch under the chicken shed to ensure the living temperature of these chickens. Pei Jinzhi's nose is very smart, so Rong Xia will change his clothes when he comes out of the chicken shed, for fear of being smelled strange.
After changing her clothes, Rong Xia was not idle, but went to the backyard to find Miao Cuilan.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Gensheng climbed down from the kang with a grunt, ran to Rong Xia's retreat, and shouted intimately when he opened his mouth: "Sister Xiao Xia!"
Rong Xia touched his little head and handed him a bag of golden dried sweet potatoes. Xiao Gensheng cheered, and as soon as his little hand stretched out, he took the delicious food.
"Miss Xiaoxia, you're too used to him!" Miao Cuilan glared at her son, and said, "Little glutton, go to find grandpa, A-Niang wants to talk to Sister Xiaoxia, don't make trouble here." ”
Gensheng stuffed dried sweet potatoes in his mouth, grimaced at his mother, and ran out with a smile.
"Miss Xiaoxia, come up on the kang quickly, it's cold on the ground!" Miao Cuilan beckoned.
Rong Xia Myanmar smiled at her, took off the shoes on his feet, and climbed up in twos and threes. In her hand she holds a small basket with colorful threads inside. Miao Cuilan took one of the square pieces of coarse cloth, looked left and right, nodded and said, "Miss Xiaoxia is making rapid progress, look at this, the flat needle is already very dense!"
Since inadvertently found that Miao Cuilan has a very ingenious embroidery kung fu, Rong Xia began to worship the teacher, nearly a month, she will take time to come here every day to learn from Miao Cuilan, Xiuhuo is also called female red, is a skill that every girl should master in this era, Rong Xia also likes this very much, she thinks it is very practical, and looking at the finished product that shows off a little bit, there is really a sense of achievement. After a month of study, Rong Xia has mastered several stitches very proficiently, and now she can embroider some leaves or something.
"Let's learn the technique of skipping needles today, sister-in-law will give you a teacher, you see, that's it......" Miao Cuilan has a very good temperament, and she is a native of Jinling, and she knows a lot of strange things, and the two of them said this while doing embroidery, and a few hours passed unconsciously.
When Rong Xia came out of her, it was already completely dark, He An asked people to come back and tell Rong Xia, saying that the second young master was not at home tonight, so Rong Xia went to the kitchen and simply made a pot of Yangzhou fried rice, sent most of it to Miao Cuilan, and used the rest for himself. Time moved forward smoothly like this, Rong Xia's life in Jinling was very quiet and peaceful, however, at this time, in the Dingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital, there was a storm blowing flatly, causing a big mess of chickens and dogs in the house.
The cause of the incident begins half an hour ago.
Hai Mingxia is the eldest young master of Pei Mansion, Pei Anzhi's newly married daughter-in-law, however, because of her mediocre appearance, she has been disliked by her husband since she entered the door, the two have not yet had a round house, the husband is the backbone of the wife, and Hai Mingxia, who was treated so coldly by her husband, can imagine the days spent in Pei's mansion, her husband dislikes her appearance, the old lady dislikes her for having no ability, the people in the mansion call the young grandmother, behind the scenes, they call her a saltless girl, all kinds of contempt and contempt, these pressures accumulate on Hai Mingxia's backbone little by little, she is also the daughter of everyone, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has been treated like this for several months, this eldest lady of the Hai family, and finally broke out!!
When she heard the report of eyeliner, Hai Mingxia smiled coldly, knowing that her opportunity had come. Don't say much at the moment, with the four maids who accompanied the car, they hurried all the way to Pei Anzhi's study, the weather was cold, and there was no one guarding outside the study, as soon as Hai Mingxia got close to the study, she heard all kinds of coquettish voices coming from inside, a touch of anger suddenly rose in her eyes, and she smiled coldly, and Hai Mingxia kicked her feet.
The scene in the study can only be described as a wandering wreckage.
I saw Pei Anzhi blindfolded, his arms were half-extended, a pretty maid in green clothes, sweating slightly with sideburns, panting and half-lying in his arms, in addition, there were three other beautiful girls in the room, all of whom were disheveled and pink-faced.
Hai Mingxia's sudden intrusion made several people in the room startled.
"Husband is so interested!" Hai clearly stood there, with the light on his back, and the expression on his face was faintly sinister.
Pei Anzhi took off the blindfold, and what caught his eye was her face.
For a moment, he was actually empty-hearted. However, Bisi in her arms shrank back as if she was afraid, and called timidly: "Master-" Pei Anzhi's pity for the fragrance and jade instantly rose, originally, he didn't do anything, just playing around in the house with a few maids, and he didn't have to be weak at all.
Pei Anzhi frowned, and rebuked unhappily: "What are you doing!"
"What's wrong with coming to see her husband as a wife?" Hai Mingxia smiled coldly, and then said coldly to a few maids: "Where did a few foxes dare to lead the eldest young master to do such a ridiculous thing in the study." Come on, they've all tied me up!!"
"Young Master, Young Master, help!" Red Lotus Bisi all began to scream, and tears of panic flowed one by one, just like the little bird that was about to break its wings, it looked even more pitiful.
"Who dares to tie up my people?" As soon as Pei Anzhi's temper came up, he was not at all tolerant.
The two of them are like enemies, you look at me, I look at you, and no one wants to let them. was noisy and shouting, and the matter finally got into a big mess and stabbed Hou Ye.
In the hall, Dingyang Hou sat there, his face full of iron blue.
"You still don't kneel down for me!"
Pei Anzhi had an angry look on his face, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, and knelt down reluctantly.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you get up first, for your father to know, you have been wronged during this time!" Dingyang Bo looked at the Hai family who was kneeling below, and layers of guilt surged in his heart, he and Hai Mingxia's father were close friends, and when they first got married, they meant that they should treat other people's daughters well, who is so young that their own son is not angry, and a good life is not enough, so he has to make trouble.
Now that it's like this, how can he explain it to his friends!
Hai Mingxia shook her head and said, "Father, daughter-in-law wants to say something." ”
Dingyanghou nodded: "Okay! ”
"It's better to wait for my grandmother and her old man to come, and my daughter-in-law will talk about it together!"
Mrs. Dingyang Hou is sick and weak, living in the inner courtyard all the year round, not coming out and walking around, the only time she came out in these years was the day Pei Anzhi married. Therefore, the internal affairs of the entire Hou Mansion are actually controlled by the old lady.
If this is not the case, it doesn't take half an hour, the old man came in a hurry, accompanied by the second lady Zhao and the third lady Pei Ying, she just went to the old lady to ask for peace, who wants to sit down for a while, the next person came to tell the Hou Ye moved the atmosphere, and wanted the family law to deal with the eldest young master, the old lady heard this, then it was repaid, and the group came over as if they were burning their butts. "What big mistake did An'er make, and you want to use family law to deal with him?" The old lady stopped in front of Pei Anzhi with a look of protecting the calf.
The old mother's ability to mess around, Dingyang Hou has understood it countless times, and immediately pointed to Pei An's way: "Ask yourself, what did this evil obstacle do!"
When Pei Anzhi heard this, his face turned red.
Some things are good to say and not to hear. The study should have been sacred, Pei Anzhi said to himself as a talented reader, leading a few beautiful maids to hide and seek in it.
Listening to it, there is a charm that does not enter the stream.
This is the same as the picture of Zhang Chungong sandwiched in the Analects.
It's always a shame to say it.
